• Orange

Quantities for one drink:

• 3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth
• 2 1/2 oz Bourbon Whiskey
• 1 Dash Angostura® Bitters
• 1 Maraschino Cherry
• 1 Twist Orange Peel

Blending Instructions:

• Combine the vermouth, bourbon whiskey, and bitters with 2 - 3 ice cubes in a mixing glass
• Stir gently, don't bruise the spirits and cloud the drink
• Place the cherry in a chilled cocktail glass and strain the whiskey mixture over the cherry
• Rub the cut edge of the orange peel over the rim of the glass and twist it over the drink to release the oils but don't drop it in

• Substitute a twist of lime for the cherry and orange
• Hold the lime twist in a lighted match over the drink and then drop it in
• The heat really zips up the lime flavor
